Woot! More reasons to give money to Blizzard. WoW Auction House from the web!

Buying and selling is one thing.
But can your toon retrieve an item from a mailbox, and relist?
For that matter, can you run something like Quick Auctions or Auctioneer?

You can see all the items in your bank/mailbox/inventory, and there's no difference between the three for selling through the web. I tried to dig into the xml on the web, but a lot of it is loaded dynamically so it'll be a lot harder to write scripts to automate buying/selling than it is to simply scrape profiles.

I guarantee that there will be sites that scan the AH for every server, both factions + neutral. I also guarantee that there will be web apps developed to let people do things ala auctionator or any other addon. I can't actually think of a way that, if they open this up to the web, you *wouldn't* see such things pop into existence.

The auction tools we have now are limited by what the in-game addons can do. Remember - out of game addons will be able to use "if...then" logic and take actions, while in-game addons aren't nearly as capable. This should be fun!
